New studies released on Monday show that a large portion of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may have begun a slow but "unstoppable (http://mashable.com/2014/05/12/west-antarctic-ice-sheet-collapse/?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=)" collapse, with the demise of these glaciers taking place sometime during the next few centuries to as many as 1,000 years from **w
The findings do **t significantly alter short-term sea level rise projections, but they mean that we may need to prepare for larger amounts of long-term sea level rise than previously thought
The global average sea level has already risen by about eight inches since 1901, with up to a**ther two and a half feet of sea level rise possible by 2100, according to the most recent projections from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (https://hameed.nwar.uk/vb/www.ipcc.ch). Read more...
